Ok, I got my pack (vapor trail) and realized there is no way I could ever fit my synthetic bag in it with other stuff. I guess im going to get a down bag, but I'm kind of limited on how much I can spend. I found a REI sub kilo 20 for $135. I will only be using it as a 3 season bag (late spring, summer and early fall). Is that a good bag for that price and would I be able to sell it later if I want to upgrade and not lose very much money.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

Make sure you get in one first. The one I tried last year has a super snug fit, at least for my frame (5'11" 190lbs 44" Jacket size).
I was just going to order it online, and have no way of trying one out. I'm 5'11 160lbs 38in chest so im tall but pretty skinny, hopefully it won't be to tight.
You'll fit fine. I would warn you that it's not as warm as advertised, but it would make an ok 30 degree bag. Heavier than most, but still pretty light and small, especially for the money.
I know its going to be heavier than most, but I haven't been able to find any around this price. I really just want something that packs kinda small. At $135 will I be able to sell it for a decent amount in a year if I want to upgrade to a lighter, better bag?
REI has sub kilo 20's at the store for $84. Its worth the money!!! Buy it, or have someone go to a store for you and buy it, just buy it. Its the best sleeping bag value anywhere right now!
Tad,
Thanks a lot for letting me know they are selling them at the store for $84. I was about to pay $135 on ebay.
I guess I'll have to have them hold one for me.
Thanks
You might have to call around. The Issaquah, WA store had only one regular size, left zip. Though I did see one in the back on hold that was about to be taken off hold.
Call them soon- or try other stores. They are $164 on sale then they take 50% off that.
I just called the REI in WA you were talking about and they have one regular left. If anyone is going to an rei soon, let me know and I'll pay you whatever fee for getting it for me and shipping charges through paypal. I understand if this might be a hassel but if anyone is going to one anytime soon, let me know so I can call and see if they have any in stock.
Thanks
I'm leaving right now to pick up an order I'll get it for you
Tad, you have a PM
Clay I have it- I'll try and call you to make arrangements. The total was $87.01 (included sales Tax)
Tad,
Let me know when your going to try to call so I can know when to expect your call and I can give you another number if you want.
Thanks a lot again.
Clay
